    A favorite solution that I have is to create "say" and "emote"
    verbs upon the player.... non-functional ones that notify no-one
    except the player.  Often they won't catch on for a long time...

    Of course, it prevents them from sending mail, so you have to turn it
    off eventually, but it certainly is much more amusing than booting or
    toading.
